The Jonas Brothers had to stall a live performance on Saturday, Aug. 2, when diabetic Nick Jonas fell ill on stage. Since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2005, Nick has had to monitor his blood sugar levels at regular intervals, and stop for treatment if they fall too low, even if it's in the middle of a concert.

Nick and brothers Joe and Kevin are even wired up with microphones so they can chat with each other during gigs, allowing the 15-year-old to tip them off when his insulin levels drop and he starts feeling weak.

His brothers even have a special technique to distract fans while Nick dashes off for an insulin shot. Joe had to call on Plan B at a Saratoga Springs concert at the weekend, when his brother needed medical assistance.

He explained, 'I chatted with the audience and kept reading all the signs people were holding up.' Nick added, 'I was only bad for, like, a minute, but Joe kept talking and talking for, like, five minutes.' The on stage scare was another reminder of just how difficult life can be for the young Jonas sibling.

Dad Kevin Sr. recently spoke of Nick's daily battle with diabetes, telling Rolling Stone magazine, 'I can't tell you how frustrating it is to hear people belittle diabetes because it's maintainable.

They've never had to sit on a bus when a pump didn't work and a second pump didn't work.. and a third didn't, and he had to give himself a shot when we're driving down a highway. Every body on our team is on full Thx J.,

if it IS true..i feel bad for nick ..

I don't think he fell. He felt really weak so he had to go backstage so he could get more insulin into his system, so Joe distracted the audience.

I was at that concert!!! He didn't fall onstage, don't worry.

It was actually Kevin reading the signs, he was all "there are a lot of signs out there so I thought we'd read some" and I remember thinking "no there aren't" cause most signs got taken at the door (like mine.) I had no idea that was why though! I feel awful for nick! And he put on such a good show too! I'm surprised I didn't see him go offstage though, because I was watching him literally the whole concert.
